Note: Should we reach capacity before registration is over, we reserve the right to close them without notice.

Also note that on-site registration is not available for any events
The Course
Our 5K Run/Walk has a unique start line on Lafayette at Washington Blvd. This event will be held in conjunction with the marathon. It begins near the marathon start and ends at the marathon finish line. Adults and children will participate together.
Runners and walkers of any age and/or ability are welcome to participate in the celebration of fun and fitness. After the event, please stay to cheer on the marathon runners and visit Conquered: The Official Marathon Afterparty to celebrate.
Because of safety concerns strollers, bicycles, roller-blades and skateboards are not permitted in any of our events, including the 5K Run/Walk.
Barring last minute changes due to unforeseen construction or other factors, the 2013 course should remain the same as 2012.
